PATRICK BRENNAN.
City Marshal.
The DISTRICT COURT.

A Verdict for Captain WATSON liz the
Ferry Roat Gase-Dr. Coney Adjudsed
Not Guilty-Ur. Fisher Missing.
What is Known as the Terry boat case
came to q termination in the district
court late yesterday afternoon in q yer
dist by the jury in be behelf of,Captain
.Wasson. the plaintiff, for $l.660. This
is an affair with many complications, the
bone of contention being the ferry boat
Senator, IN which Captain WATSON owns
alittle mora than a half interest and
numerous business men of Yankton the
balance. Last year the boat sunk at the
landing and was raised by Captain Was
son with some pecuuiary assistance from
the city. Action was brought for salvage
and for unpaid salary due Captain Was
son and q judgment for $l,660 was
awarded the plaintiff. This Judgment
is against the ferry company, of which
the plaintiff is the larger part. The
stock of the company is not liable under
the judgment. as it is paid up and the
stockholders are not personally liable.
The judgment lies against the boat and
she will be sold to satisfy the claim, nm
less it is settled IN some other way. The
Senator was built by the people of Yank-
ton as a means of communication bs-
tween this city and the Nebraska shore.
She has proved to be too expensive o boat
for the service and was laid APP last sum-
msr. She cost about SIS 900 and is an
excellent boat in every way. In the
action i1st closed r. B Trlpp and j. 81.
Teller appeared for the plaintiff and
Smith & French for the defendants.

case. 1t was tried yesterday afternoon.

Yankton appearing as witnesses for the
prosecution. At half past nine O'Clock
last evening the jury brought in q ver-
dict of not guilty and DIR. Coney again
goes free. He was once before indicted
and tried. This action was tried by
District Attorney French for the prosecu.
ton and j. II. Teller for the defence.

he puts in an appearance.
The indictment against J. j. Duffack
was dismissed this morning. He was
indicted for embczzlemens and a civil
